Police seize winning lottery ticket bought with drug moneyReply
Yep, even if they were Birthday presents or Christmas gifts. A lady was complaining when her son got busted for selling drugs and he had just recently received a huge settlement from a car accident and law enforcement took that too. So that's the price you pay for being a drug dealer. Drug dealers know this going into it. Drug law enforcement will work better if they would just stop the drugs from coming into the country and into the city.

Is it Legal if...............Reply
I actually was involved with Law Enforcement for several years, and I still believe the system is highly corrupt. Although not all officers are guilty, there are many bad apples out there.

You can find many news stories about that on the net as well. What was all that training for? Perhaps the quality of the tra

They couldn't stand the fact that players were able to pick winning numbers as frequently as they did.This is typical deceit by lottery folks. They do it because they can get away with it. They know that no politician or law enforcement official will interfere, so long as the money conti

Iowa Lottery CEO Terry Rich answers your questionsReply
Those ideals are absolutely important to the Iowa Lottery. It's our job to stay one step ahead of those who would attempt to break the law. We can't speak for other lotteries, but here, we think it's important that we provide for separation of duties and functions within our organization; maintain multiple layers of security; publicly release the names of winners; and work closely with law enforcement if and or when any concerns are identified.

Drug dealer must forfeit lottery jackpotReply
i see that there are few incentives for dealers to quit dealing drugs, i also think drugs are not good for the health of this nation, so what are law enforcers to do?i think make the penalties as harsh as possible and to help pay for the law enforcement, confiscation is great.i also think it could be used on a broader basis maybe for theft and other property crimes.
